Looks like Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez is trying to use Gibraltar like Varadkar is using the `backstop` as pawn in the EU so-called negotiations.

What happens to the Ireland border will also happen to Gibraltar.

Re: Benidorm suffers HUGE drop in British Tourists.

I look at it this way.

Of all the EU countries, which have been the most vociferous when it comes to criticising our decision to leave the EU?

Our two traditional enemies, of course: France and Spain, both of whom we have embarrassed when they have attempted to defeat us in war.

We've been to Spain a few times, but I don't have any particular wish to go there again, even if they decided not to try and sting us with visa costs, etc.

I think most of us believe their attitude to be rather stupid and nothing less than shooting themselves in the foot.

The Spanish economy must have suffered because of Franco's regime. But for a long time Spain had a very powerful empire. Their influence on the world has been significant. It's a pity they joined the euro.

Re: Benidorm suffers HUGE drop in British Tourists.

We love to holiday in Spain, do so almost every year and we,ve personally always felt comfortable and welcomed. We lived there for two years too but reluctantly had to return 11 years ago.


We do hope to go back when we retire.

We lived inland and we found the Spanish people really liked the fact that I tried speaking in their language, albeit broken and no way fluent but I got by and I found they respected that.

Never been to Benidorm and not really interested in going there. Last year went to Almeria, stunning place and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The sun and scenery is beautiful and for us, very inviting, so much so we are holidaying there again in September,
